Course rater, rules official, tournament director, and world traveler are all words that describe our 2009 Peppard recipient, Elva Jung. Elva has been active in a variety of roles in the world of golf. She has served on the board of the Greater Cincinnati Women’s Golf Association for four years, including a year as President. She had been actively involved in the GCWGA/USGA Slope Rating Committee since 1983. Because of her involvement with this committee, the USGA selected her to travel to the Philippines to rate their courses.
Elva’s true passion is for the rules. She has served on the Rules committee of many major tournaments. They include the Rice Planters Championship, Atlantic 10 Conference Championship, NCAA Division I Women’s Championship, Players Amateur, Junior Heritage, and several AJGA events. She has also served on the WOSGA Rules Committee.
In 1991 Elva was appointed Tournament Director of the WOSGA. Thanks to her, this tournament has improved and our field of contestants has become world class. Elva’s contributions to this organization have been countless, and we thank her for her hard work and dedication in making women’s golf in Ohio even better.
